Welcome to Bitchin' Stitchin', where every bag tells a story of craftsmanship.
A Half-Century of Hand-Stitched Excellence
For over five decades, I have been perfecting the art of the stitch. What started as a lifelong passion has evolved into Bitchin' Stitchin', a dedicated space where functional design meets artisanal quality. From my sewing room in Salem, Oregon, I create one-of-a-kind textile goods designed to be as durable as they are beautiful.
A lifetime dedicated to the craft.
Over 50 Years of Experience
Sewing isn't just a business for me; it is a craft I have honed for more than 50 years. This deep level of expertise ensures that every seam is secure, every zipper is perfectly aligned, and every bag is built with the precision that only decades of practice can provide.
Where the magic happens.
My Sewing Room
My sewing room is my happy place. This is where I spend my days turning high-quality fabrics into functional art. Every tote, purse, and wristlet is crafted here with meticulous attention to detail and a genuine love for the process.
Quality goods from totes to wristlets.
Handmade for Every Occasion
I specialize in a specialized range of handmade textile goods. From large beach totes and medium-sized purses to small wristlets and practical pot holders, my collection is designed to offer quality alternatives to mass-produced accessories.
A personal touch for every customer.

Based in Salem, Oregon, I take pride in being a local maker who is personally accessible to my customers. Whether you are picking up an order at my shop or having it shipped to your doorstep, you are receiving a product made with care and delivered with professional reliability.
